The phase I part of the study will enroll patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors
who have failed at least one previous treatment. The purpose of the phase I part is to
assess the safety of the investigational treatment and select the recommended phase II
dose-regimen. The phase II part of the study will enroll patients with advanced or
metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer who have not received treatment for their metastatic
disease. The purpose of the phase II part of the study is to assess safety and efficacy of
the investigational treatment in breast cancer. The study doctor will determine what phase
patients will be enrolled in.
